Tractorman810 Posted September 29, 2006 Share Posted September 29, 2006 been thinking about doing one of these for a while now, so i finally got round to it today after work, running a scratch built chassis with a ertl tipping trailer body, and ertl wheels, beauty of this is its got the correct profile on the sides ,just like the proper marstons, so looks a lot better, sporting the usual rear tailgate with working shoot and release/hold mech, got another to do, although i am going to try and cast the body first, as i think its a lot better than the britains body its actually the same size as the shortened marstons i do already body wise to, so is a great 8 /10 ton trailer for the 698t, i used to drive this setup nearly every summer on the farm Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Deere-est Posted September 29, 2006 Share Posted September 29, 2006 Sean can you make me on maybe two??? I have often wondered about UH Vanto wheels on a cut down one of yours but this one you have made is an exact repro of the two we had when I was on the farm. What a cracker mate.

Tractorman810 Posted September 29, 2006 Author Share Posted September 29, 2006 if i can cast the body ok, then yes i wil do more, the wheels are same size as siku ones so easilly avaiable Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PDC Posted September 29, 2006 Share Posted September 29, 2006 If there the siku wheels i'm thinking of Sean i've just had them cast in white resin with rubber tyres for my JF forage harvesters :o :o Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tractorman810 Posted September 29, 2006 Author Share Posted September 29, 2006 ideal paul, can see a possible order if the body casts ok, looks a lot better than the britains one, might try it on that chassis just to see, Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NewHolland2 Posted September 29, 2006 Share Posted September 29, 2006 Excellent mate, looks like a Marston you'd actually find working out and about...... Is the body from those old Red ERTL Tipping trailers? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tractorman810 Posted September 29, 2006 Author Share Posted September 29, 2006 it is indeed mart, like i say going to try and cast the other one i have first, as it will make a nice single axel version if its trimed down by one of the rear sections as well,like you say a lot better looking than the britains ones for realisim body wise Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
